Jon Lovitz Stands Up For Israel

An Aussie immigrant to Israel, Aussie Dave is founder and managing editor of Israellycool, one of the world's most popular pro-Israel blogs (and the one you are currently reading)
He is a happy family man, and a lover of steak, Australian sports and girlie drinks

We already knew comedian Jon Lovitz was a Hollywood mensch. He’s tweeted about antisemitism before, but now he’s come out and done the unthinkable: publicly supported Israel against the terrorists of Hamas.

It’s also sad to hear Americans defend Hamas, a terrorist organization.Israel has a right to defend its citizens.

I say unthinkable because it is very rare that Hollywood celebrities will publicly back Israel in such a way. For instance, a few days ago, “celebrity” Kim Kardashian declared she was “praying for Israel”, only to delete her tweet soon after “because [she] realized that some people were offended and hurt by what [she] said.” I’ve also tweeted to Jewish celebrities including William Shatner and Henry Winkler, only to be met with radio silence.

"Israellycool is one of a few excellent blogs digging into stories, giving context to the news as reported and shining a light on slanted and biased journalistic agendas" - Michael Dickson, StandWithUs

"..the notorious Israellycool.com, which gently skips between right-wing rants against Islam, posts about science fiction and - what else? - blogs about the Eurovision song contest." - Tim Jonze, The Guardian

"Posting from Israelly cool is like posting from Der Sturmer. "Probably the most infamous was ‘Der Stűrmer’ by the anti-Semite Julius Streicher who claimed that ‘Der Stűrmer’ was Hitler’s favourite read. However, Goebbels viewed the newspaper as little more than a ‘daily rag’ and believed that it was more likely to harm the regime than present it in its best light such was the paucity of its contents that occasionally bordered on the pornographic." Good old Aussie dan fits the definition perfectly" - Greta Berlin
